Curt Schilling, despite:
* exceeding HOF Statistical standards
* being an Ace for 3 WS Champs, including the 1st Red Sox Champ in 86 years
* no hint of PED use
* multiple MLB humanitarian awards
Doesn't make the #HOF in 9 tries because he has the wrong political beliefs

And those HOF statistical metrics I posted...he compares favorably to an Average HALL OF FAMER. Not a borderline between Hall of Very Good and HOF. Not bare minimum HOF. No, he is better in virtually every category compared to the average/median Hall of Famer. Its not close.
Take all the pitchers in the Hall of Fame, and Curt Schilling is better statistically than more than half of those Hall of Famers. He is in the Top Half statistically of all Hall of Famers. And 3 rings. And no PEDs. And upstanding citizen during his career. Its a travesty.
According to those stats, he's anywhere between the 28th and 52nd best pitcher to ever play the game. There are 86 pitchers in the Hall of Fame. So he is statistically better than anywhere between 34 and 58 of those 86 HOF pitchers. He's not a borderline HOF, he's EASILY HOF
